STAFF ANALYSIS:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
See the Eagle Foothills Subarea Plan and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of law for RZ-19-
06,including MOD 1 and MOD 2. These documents are incorporated herein by reference.
B. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CONDITIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
1.2 Planned Development:
2nd Paragraph: City hereby authorizes Developer to include in Planning Unit Master Plans the
types of uses that are the same as or similar to (as reasonably determined by City's Zoning
Administrator), and densities and intensities of uses equal to or less than, those set forth in this
Agreement and/or Title 11. Development of the Property may include, without limitation, the
planning, design, engineering, construction, acquisition, installation, and/or provision of
improvements of any sort or nature, including private infrastructure and Public Infrastructure
related to development of the Property, whether located within or outside the Property. City,
having exercised City's discretion in approving this Agreement, shall cooperate reasonably in
administratively-processing the approval or issuance of such permits, plans, specifications, plats
and/or other development approvals of or for the Property as may be requested by Developer in
order to implement the Project,and which are reasonably consistent with this Agreement.
1.4 Planning Concept:
Starting at 2nd Paragraph: The Project is planned for a Base Project Density of 0.5 units per gross
acre, or 3,008 dwelling units, and 245 acres for Non-Residential Use. Through the application of
the Bonus Density provisions, the Maximum Density may be increased up to 1.19 units per gross
acre,not to exceed 7,160 dwelling units, and 245 acres for Non-Residential Use. In the event that
any of the Non-Residential Use lands within a Planning Area are developed as residential,
Developer may allocate any unused acres for Non-Residential Use to another Planning Area as
provided in this section 1. In the event Additional Property is annexed the process is set forth in
this section 1.
Bonus Density is achieved at the time of City's approval of any PUMP as follows:
• 1 unit for each acre of Regional Open Space shown on each City-approved PUMP and
cumulatively for all prior City-approved PUMPs over and above the 20% Open Space
minimum requirement not to exceed 1,250 units.
• 0.5 units for each acre of Community Open Space shown on each City-approved PUMP and
cumulatively for all prior City-approved PUMPs over and above the 20% Open Space
minimum requirement.
Page 11 of 34
Valnova PUMP No 4 CCF
• 10% of the total units for a Regional Open Space funding mechanism as described further in
Section 2.6(f)herein.
To achieve Bonus Density in a PUMP, there must be a minimum Open Space of 20% in such
PUMP, which Open Space shall be first calculated using Community Open Space. Bonus
Density shall be re-calculated upon the submittal of each PUMP and/or plat.
Valnova is being planned as five different Planning Areas, as set forth in Exhibit(s) D, D1, D2,
D3, D4, and D5; the Conceptual Development Plan set forth in Exhibit B; the density allocation
planned for each Planning Area is summarized in Table 1 below. Each Planning Area represents
a unique design based upon: (i) topography; (ii) location within the Development Plan;
(iii)existing and planned transportation corridors; (iv) a balance of commercial, employment and
residential uses to promote trip capture within the Project; (v) a wide array of housing and

D. DISCUSSION:
• The proposed Estate Residential(ER) lot is located within the Southwestern Residential Planning
Area. The Southwestern Residential Planning Area was approved with a maximum of 450
residential units at full buildout, considering the potential maximization of any bonus densities,
pursuant to Table 1 of Section 1.4 within the development agreement. The Eagle City Council
approved the Spring Valley Planning Unit Master Plan (PUMP) No. 1 on May 24, 2022, which
approved a total of 449 residential units within the Southwestern Residential Planning Area;
leaving only one (1) remaining residential unit within the Southwestern Planning area to be
allocated within a future PUMP application. If the proposed PUMP No. 4, as proposed with one
(1) residential unit, is approved by City Council, there should be zero (0) remaining residential
units available within the Southwestern Residential Planning Area for future approval.
• The existing Chevron Gas Pipeline generally runs from the northwestern corner of the proposed
Estate Residential (ER) lot to the southwestern corner, as shown within Exhibit G of the
submitted application exhibits. The existing pipeline and corresponding easement should be
transferred to the future plat documents prior to the submittal of a preliminary plat.
• A portion of the proposed Estate Residential (ER) lot is located within the existing FEMA
Floodplain. No development should be permitted to occur on the ER lot within the portion that is
located within the Floodplain without the approval of a Flood Plain Development Permit from the
City of Eagle.
• Staff has reviewed the proposed Exhibit H — Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan within the
submitted PUMP No. 4 application and find the proposed trails to be in compliance with the
development agreement and in alignment with the goals of the previously approved PUMP No. 1
Page 25 of 34
Valnova PUMP No 4 CCF
application. The "natural trail", as shown as the red dashed line should be required to connect
with the approved natural trail approved in the adjacent PUMP No. 1 application. Additionally,
the proposed ten-foot(10') wide Regional Trail shown as the purple dashed line, should connect
with the approved ten-foot (10') wide Regional Trail approved in the adjacent PUMP No. 1
application. Both trails should be required to have public access easements and the applicant
should be required to include them on the subsequently submitted final plat drawings and submit
recorded public access easements for each,prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat associated
with these lots.
• The development agreement requires that of the existing 1,160-acres of land designated as
Habitat Area of Special Concern (HASC), that a minimum of 50% (580-acres) are preserved
and/or mitigated. 25.12-acres of HASC area are included within PUMP No. 4, of which 14.91-
acres are to be preserved or be rehabilitated. The preserved/rehabilitated areas equate to 59.4%of
the total HASC area within PUMP No. 4, which is above the 50% minimum requirement for the
overall project. With the approvals of the prior PUMP No. 1 and PUMP No. 3 applications, the
development has been approved with the preservation or rehabilitation of a total of 46.39%, if
PUMP No. 4 is approved, as proposed. When areas of the HASC that are outside of the prior and
current PUMP applications (which still existin their native state) are included within the
calculations, the potential for preserved or mitigated area is 66.15%. The City will continue to
track development and mitigation in HASC areas in future PUMP submittals to ensure that the
area to be preserved and/or rehabilitated remain above the 50%requirement.
• The applicant is proposing a trail sign adjacent to the BLM Land to the east of the Regional Open
Space lot. The applicant should be required to submit a Design Review application for review
and approval of the proposed signage.
